I wonder if that question would apply to all five files we put in
/etc/devd?  It looks like they could be moved to /usr/share with
minimal fuss by adding that directory to the search list in
/etc/devd.conf.

I'm agnostic about the value of moving them.  Users can configure local
rules by modifying the existing devd.conf and files in devd/ and
dealing with mergemaster on updates, or by adding their own new files
in devd/.
